Whereas Daniel Rowland ministered mainly in one place, at Llangeitho, Howel Harris, who was never ordained, itinerated all over Wales as a lay ‘exhorter’ from his home in Trevecca. During his varied activities he established the controversial Christian community...

A story of Welsh Hymns and their Authors by Elvett Lewis, 104pp, booklet
Justly famous for its choirs, Wales has long been associated with great hymn-singing. It has given numerous hymn-tunes to the Church that are enjoyed throughout the world, as well as a large number of hymns. Many of the hymns originating in Wales, however, were written in Welsh and are found only in Welsh hymnals. Recognising this, H. Elvet Lewis penned this little volume last century to int...

The amazing account of a young missionary from a ladies’ college in the US who went to work with girls in N.W. Iran (then Persia) in the mid C19th.The godliness of Fidelia, the revival she observed and the spirituality of the young girls she saw converted are most challenging.

by John B. Adger, D.D., xii + 703pp, dark blue cloth with d/w
“My Life and Times is a remarkable book for a number of reasons. First, it has never been reprinted for public distribution and sale. This in itself is astonishing due to the very subject matter—the life of John Bailey Adger. Second, Adger was a prominent ecclesiastical figure in the nineteenth century—a friend to James Henley Thornwell, Benjamin Morgan Palmer and John Lafayette Girardeau...

320pp, cloth binding + d/w
The main objective of this work on John Wesley has been to show that theo-logically he was essentially within the broad harbour of the Reformation and Puritan tradition, and that he believed the truth to be as he expressed it to be, ‘within a hairs breadth of Calvinism.’
John Wesley in the Reformation Tradition seeks to show that Methodism is not a synchronism between Protestantism and Roman Catholicism; neither is Methodism the connecting link between Laudianism and the nineteenth century Oxford Movement.
In the later chapters, the various nineteenth century divisions within Methodism are examined. An attempt is made to show that these divisions parallel and mirror the tension between the Anglican and Puritan side of Wesley’s character.
"Great men of God have often been misunderstood and misquoted. John Wesley was no exception. To this day there is much confusion as to some of the doctrines he believed and taught. This book takes many of these cloudy issues and brings them out into the sunlight."
"…All Christians cannot but profit from this account, which deals so clearly with the efforts of one man to strive for the glory of God in preaching the gospel of saving grace…."
